The Learning Leader Show With Ryan Hawk

As Kobe Bryant once said, “There is power in understanding the journey of others to help create your own.”
That’s why the Learning Leader Show exists—to get together and understand the journeys of successful leaders, so that we can better understand our own.
This show is full of stories told by world-class leaders. Personal stories of successes, failures, and lessons learned along the way. Our guests come from diverse backgrounds—some are best-selling authors, others are genius entrepreneurs, and one even made a million dollars wearing t-shirts for a year. My role in this endeavor is to talk to the smartest, most creative, always-learning leaders in the world so that we can learn from them as we each create our own journeys.

"The human condition does not end because you get rich." You'll still have problems.

Best advice to give to people early in their careers?

"Be careful what you wish for. Managing other people is not in my top 5 things I like to do."

"Prove you can execute. That's the way to get to the executive level. Just simply make shit happen, you get shit done."

You have to weigh shipping vs quality

Take measured risks, and don't be afraid to make mistakes
